Say yes to the…minnie dress?

02.01.10

Our five-year old, Carter, is completely wedding obsessed lately. I suppose in some weird way she wants to be like daddy (except for the dress and veil, of course). I have a huge stack of wedding magazines on my desk (it’s research), and she LOVES to pour through them…so when I came home a couple of weeks ago, I found these…

Admittedly, her style is all over the place; but she’s got a little time to sort it out. Seriously though, how cute is a pre-schooler’s inspiration board???

She also loves watching Say Yes to the Dress with us (again…research). I knew that my friends at Southern Weddings were dress shopping at Kleinfeld this weekend, so in an effort to be the cool dad, I mentioned that “daddy knows someone who went there to find a wedding dress.” She got all excited and then proceeded to ask “is that her, daddy?” with each bride that was on the show. I wonder what Randy would think of the Minnie Mouse look…

Look mom, no hands!

Our baby turned one last month, and as usual Maribeth completely outdid herself planning and throwing the perfect party! I’ll have lots of great shots of all the details soon, but I thought this would make a nice little teaser…

Amanda & Houston

01.25.10

Amanda and Houston were married last May, so I guess technically this is a “newlywed” rather than an engagement session…whatever you want to call it, it was awesome! Their wedding is featured in the current issue of Gulf Coast Bride magazine, and my ad in the current issue of Southern Weddings magazine. You can also see their wedding images on my portfolio site. I get questions and comments about them all the time, and whether they know it or not, they have had a HUGE impact on my business! So naturally, I jumped at the chance to schedule a shoot with them! When I told Amanda that I wanted the shoot to have more of an editorial “story” feel (rather than just a series of cool portraits), she took my idea and ran with it! Here are some of our results…

Catherine & Trone’s Photo Booth

01.20.10

I had the pleasure of spending New Year’s weekend in the gorgeous North Carolina mountains with Catherine and Trone and all of their friends and family. I had an incredible time, and I genuinely felt like one of the family before the celebration was over! The festivities kicked off with a rehearsal followed by a huge square dance…and the Photo Booth!

Catherine & Will

01.06.10

Happy New Year! It’s been a wild few weeks around here! I spent last weekend in the North Carolina mountains, but more on that later. A few weeks ago I finished up 2009 with an awesome wedding and an awesome couple! I mentioned when I showed off their engagement photos that Catherine’s sister was a client earlier this year, so the wedding was great because I already knew the whole family! It was a great way to wrap up an incredible year…

Sam & Scott

12.17.09

Scott is one of my best friends in the whole world, so when I heard about this awesome girl he met I couldn’t wait to meet her. Once I did, I realized that she was perfect for him…and apparently so did he! They had an intimate family wedding a few weeks ago, then we went to a park down the street and shot a few fun rolls. I’m so happy for you guys, and it was truly an honor to be included! Now…check out this rockstar style…

Sam & Scott had an intimate family wedding over Thanksgiving weekend (more on that next time), then they had a big party the next week to celebrate…judging by these shots, the Photo Booth was a hit! Thanks to the blushing bride for the festive backdrop and the ridiculous props…

Kelsey & Tripp’s Engagement

Kelsey and Tripp drove up to Memphis just to meet up with me for their engagement session…on what seemed like one of the coldest days of the year! You guys were great troopers, and I LOVE the pink jacket…
